Hear Ye! Hear Ye! In the case of the United States vs the United States, the following case will be heard!

For the Prosecution, Pam Bondi will be representing the United States. For the Defense, the Attorney General Pam Bondi will be representing the United States. Attorney General Bondi will make the opening statement for the Prosecution, followed by Attorney General Bondi making the case for the defense.

Ms. Bondi: "The Prosecution intends to show that by owning a part of the company it is regulating, it has a conflict of interest which is a violation of Title XVIILCD Section 723 Subsection a.b and c and I ask the jurors to listen carefully to all the testimony we present and return a verdict of guilty"

Ms. Bondi: The Defense intends to show that by owning a part of the company it is regulating, there is no conflict of interest and therefore no violation of Title XVIILCD Section 723 Subsection a.b and c and I ask the jurors to listen carefully to all the testimony we present and return a verdict of not guilty"
